If your living room is also where your children occasionally do their homework then supplement the lamps with a ceiling fixture. If the kids do their assignments on the coffee table then a fixture directly above the table is a good idea as the light will also be in the center of your seating area and won't look out of place.

Floor lamps and table lamps should be dispersed about the room such that separate from any other lighting they can reasonably light the room for most occasions.

Keep in mind that dark lamp shades really restrict the lamp's overall light output.
